[It's a picture of five dogs, all different types and sizes, happily looking at the camera like it's a tasty treat (because there is a tasty treat behind the camera).]
Usually we just take them to the park and let them play and then they get to go on their first jobs, but we should do a ceremony! They can walk down an aisle, after all!
[He receives the picture as he's sending the reply, so Matthew gets a quick follow up]
That's so cute! But I don't think we should give the dogs their certificates directly. They'd get damaged more easily that way. [he's taking this very seriously.]
[ Matthew reads that second reply and he can't help but laugh. Normally he's the one who doesn't always get when a person is joking; it's nice to know he shares that with someone. ]
haha i know! even a good dog like the ones you train would still slobber on it
[ As opposed to turning the paper into a chew toy, which is probably what Max would do. ]
hey we should give them a ceremony though like a real graduation in the park i bet people would come!
You know, that's a good idea! So many people at the park helped out with training, too, so it'd be a nice way to say thank you.
[Plus now that Quatre's thinking about it, the dogs could probably hold something in their mouths, just not something as fragile as paper... the diploma idea deserves a lot more thought in light of the new graduation ceremony.]
What if they fetch sticks with the certificates wrapped around the other end?
yeah!! does ur school not do them? like handing over the diploma pics and shaking somebodys hand haha thats a good dog idea too if they can shake im good w my phone cam! itll look better if we get a pro tho
[Which includes this world; he completely ignored the 'student' designation next to 'part time trainer' in his file when he arrived.]
The dogs can definitely shake! We should do that. They shake and then we throw the diploma for them to fetch! I'm sure we can find someone to take them.
